Steering Pulls to left on braking
I just bought a new 09 Camry Hybrid and have driven around 700 miles on it. From day 1, on braking the steering would pull slightly to the left.
On straights, the steering, sometimes, seems to be a little left aligned. Has anybody else experienced this? Any pointers before i take it in to the dealer. Its a brand new car.
It happens mostly when the car has warmed up, and, the car is not using regenerative braking.

Re: Steering Pulls to left on braking
Check the air pressure on all four tires - if that's ok, tell the dealer it is pulling to the left and you want the alignment checked, and they should align it for free since the car is less than a year old.
One other cause I've encountered in the past is "radial pull". Some tires just pull to one side. If rotating the tires front to back eliminates the pull, it is a tire. I just lived with it the one time I encountered it.

IAC, it's not normal. Get the car looked at and properly diagnosed.

Tire pressure is correct on all tires. Does not seem to be alignment issue since it is highly noticeable on braking and marginally during normal driving. The car sat a couple of months at the lot.
Will take it in to the dealer this week.

My old Camry pulled to the left strongly when driving. I had the alignment checked many times. It improved a lot when one of the tires flatted and was replaced.
